Maya Angelou famously said ‘There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
’ But sometimes it can be just a few words, a message or a perspective we never had the chance to share that causes deep regret.
So to inspire you to avoid this fate and leave no verbal stone unturned, the creative team behind the literary phenomenon ‘Women of Letters’, Emilie Zoey Baker and Marieke Hardy, bring you an unmissable night of spoken word. Sit back and let a brilliant lineup – Tyson Yunkaporta, slam poet and beatboxer Hope One, and singer, actor, artist and former ABC radio presenter Annie Gastin – regale you with rousing responses to the phrase ‘The words I wish I’d said.’ Interspersed with musical performances by Serena Pech, special guest Benjamin Law brings the night to a close with a Living Eulogy to someone or something still of this earth, helping us to celebrate the best in our lives while we're still around to hear it.
Poignant, funny, and utterly engrossing, this is live storytelling that’ll make you think about how to use words to live life to the fullest.
A percentage of any profits raised from this event will be donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.
Curated by Emilie Zoey Baker and Marieke Hardy.
